Ed Sheeran and his wife Cherry Seaborn celebrated England’s equaliser with Spain with a sweet kiss as they watched in the stands in Berlin to support the Three Lions in the 2024 Euros final on Sunday night.
The singer, 33, – who is a huge football fan – was taking in all the action at the Olympiastadion in Germany, with actor Damian Lewis, 53, by his side as Spain took victory with a 2-1 win.
Other big stars who made the trip to Germany to watch the final included close pals Harry Styles and James Corden, who were also spotted in the stands.
Ed sported a red England shirt as he sat beside Cherry, 32, who wore white kit and a cap as she shouted her support for the players before jumping up to give Ed a kiss.
The A Team hitmaker was also present at the semi-finals last Wednesday when England beat the Netherlands – but this time the Three Lions weren’t so lucky.
Elsewhere Martin Kemp and his son Roman mingled with England fans in Berlin as they arrived for the match.
The father-son duo appeared in high-spirits as they made their way into the stadium ahead of the nail-biting match which England sadly lost.
Martin and Roman arrived alongside former footballer Peter Crouch who threw his arms in the air while he patiently waited for kick off ahead of the loss.
Peter couldn’t wipe the smile off his face as he cheered on the boys and chanted with the crowd.
KSI threw up a peace sign as he posed with friends outside UEFA Euros in his white and blue England shirt.
Meanwhile supporting all the way from Manchester, MAFS star Sophie Brown flashed her torso in an England football shirt as she stepped out to watch the match.
Rapper and Top Boy star Kano was spotted in the crowds to watch the match in Berlin.
The national team faced Spain following a tumultuous tournament, and Gareth Southgate said ahead of the match: ‘I don’t believe in fairytales but I am a believer in dreams and we have big dreams but you have to make those things happen .
‘The run we have had, late goals, penalties but that doesn’t equate to us making it happen. We have to perform.
‘When you try to create dreams you need a vision to go with that. That lights a small fire. We know what it would mean (to win).’

The England men’s side haven’t won a major trophy since World Cup 1966, and Southgate added: ‘We have to get this trophy to get the respect of the rest of the football world.
‘I travelled to World Cups and European Championships watching as an observer (before becoming England manager) and on the highlights on the big screens before games we weren’t in them.
‘They only showed the finals and the big games.
We had high expectations but they didn’t match where we were performance-wise.
‘We have now.
‘Tomorrow, I don’t have any fear of what might happen because I’ve been through everything. I want my players to feel that fearlessness… If we’re not afraid to lose, it gives us a better chance of winning.’
The Three Lions competed in their second consecutive final in the European Championship after heartbreak against Italy at Wembley in 2021.
The team lost on penalties on home turf, and that night has lived long in the memory of those involved.
‘I think it shows unbelievable consistency, first and foremost,’ captain Harry Kane said on Saturday night. ‘A lot of us after that final, we were obviously heartbroken with the result, as always a long journey back to getting where we are now.
‘Full credit to the boys for the resilience that we’ve shown. It speaks volumes for the mentality of the squad, extremely happy to be in this situation and to be back in a European final. Of course we are really desperate to go one step further than we did last time.’
